Kitchen wiring

[oemodm123]

Moving kitchen into a different bit of the house.
Have done general planning for electrics, so it's approximately in the layout for electrician when he visits (to help optimise cost).
Looking for pointers/advice on major red-flags

Get a good powerful fan

Maybe put the freezer on an mcb if uk rules allow it

And I take it the cooker isolator is above worktopv?

Don’t have the fridge freezer plug behind it
Is that enough sockets above the counter?

You don't need 2 separate connector units for the hob and oven, both can connect to the same one.
Extractor can go on the lighting circuit with cable from above.

They don't, and it would acehive nothing even if is was permitted.

Clearly shown in a cupboard adjacent, which is where it belongs.

Would stop potential nuisance tripping of the RCD

You're a bit of a genius

Isolators in cupboards and extractors on lighting circuits

If the freezer is faulty, having the RCD trip is exactly what you want.

'nuisance tripping' is a phrase people use to explain away defective appliances and circuits.
Removing a protective device doesn't fix anything, it just leaves the problem exposed until something more serious occurs, such as someone being shocked, killed, a fire starting, or all of those things.

Oh well, we’ll just have to agree to disagree then as millions of homes are still without RCD protection

Anyway back on topic

As pointed out , an issue may be the number of socket outlets in the picture
